Wow. That went fast. The teaching part of the trip is over, I am off to a few stores here in Edmonton tomorrow and then the scrapbooking part is over! Seems the rumour about time flying when you are having fun seems to be true.
Thanks to the ladies in Toronto and London – I had an awesome time.
Main lesson learnt from my trip to Canada? When I want something in the middle of the paper, I shouldn’t ask for it to be centred. Or I get a lot of confused canadians tryin to make their paper smell nice :o)
(a little centred-scented issue there – I hear ya repeating it to yourself – NZers, you are the only ones that have those 2 words sounding the same….)
Here is me giving away some Everlasting Keepsakes Chipboard…
One of the highlights of my trip there was meeting Barb, whom I have talked to online forever…
I also met another online friend that I used to chat to 9 years ago – havent downloaded those pics though yet Tracy :o)
Talking of flying. I had the crappy crap crap flight from crapland yesterday. Only because I was tried, but determined not to sleep. And I was in the middle. And the guy on the aisle and the girl at the window were flirting. We landed in Edmonton though and it got better pretty quick. I found 6 of the Edmonton teachers at the venue and talked til the wee hours. Fun. Met the designers of some of the products at Prima. And Johanna Peterson who is on the Queen & Co DT- there were a few other girls there too. Fun.
(oh and talking of Prima – here is the Prima blog link – check it out, I have a few projects just posted on there :o)
Here is one of them.
You’ll have to go to the blog for the others :o)
SO today Kelly and I (who have never met – love new friends! or old ones that we meet for the first time! lol) wandered the streets of Whyte Ave in Edmonton. Fav purchase of the day was a random metal picture for $40. Paul just wants to see how we go through the x-rays at Auckland airport. It’s really a decoy for the dozens of friendly canadians we have met along the way that we are taking home with us :o)
Here is Whyte st in Edmonton, Kelly and I (excuse the incredibly squinty pic – the sun is a little low in Edmonton this time of year!), and a pic of my hubby sitting in a cafe in Whyte st. I looked up and saw that he had a sign that said ‘filthy mcnasty’s’ behind him, and it just seemed perfect to take that pic.
Anyone that I owe emails to – I can only email to xtra addresses.
I have tried.
Love the internet.
When it works.
Will email when I get home.
